We performed a comparison between NetWitness Platform and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Wazuh, Datadog and others in Log Management."The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"Health and communication links availability."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions. Whenever any hacking activity or any other threat factor occurred they used to provide the coverages very fast when comparing RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets. I heard the other three solutions, from a discussion with my team members who had experience in other solutions, they used to say that. Whenever any issues happened across the globe RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are a little bit slow improving those detection mechanisms."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved."
"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."
"Its technical support could be better."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"Its UI should be improved. They did some improvements in version 5, but it could benefit from some more work. Its integrations should also be improved. They've been active for one year, and they seem to have noticed that. It has new integrations, but it could benefit from more integrations. As far as I know, there is no model to push statistics, metrics, or events towards Zabbix. This type of API isn't yet there, whereas some other tools provide an API for this."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
"The documentation could be improved."
"It could be more stable."
